As its a sunday, how about a nice collective noun for old boat owners.
I was wool gathering along the lines of 'an optimism' or 'a delusion', but then again, I think "a muttering of old boat owners" suits best. Or does this suit mobo owners better?

There is, as most here must know, such great satisfaction when a project reaches the conculsion that we knowingly put ourselves through a whole series of difficulties to achieve it.
I think you put a part of yourself into a classic boat when you help save it, I've never had this feeling with a contempory boat.
I think that feeling comes even if you have only waved your cheque book at the boat or done the hard work yourself.

Perhaps a 'Classic' of owners would describe us best!

Now, do you mean Old boat owners, or owners of old boats?

a 'taking up' perhaps, maybe sub categories such as a 'skint-ling' of classic owners, for those whose holes in theirs pockets are bigger than those in their boats - think I'll soon be in that class

Actually, there isn't any argument.
A "rub-down" is the collective noun.

I think 'a creak' seems somewhat appropriate...?
